New guy here

neptco19

Just joined up and thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Jason, live in Hickory NC. I've got a '48 CJ2a that I beat on in the woods from time to time. Right now the engine is torn down awating a turbo and propane. Hopefully I'll have it done for a trip to Windrock in June. Well heres a couple pics...

What it looked like when I got it...

As it is now...

Broke piston

The turbo for it..

Balanced the crank

Gonna start on the engine block this week, so hopefully it will be ready to reassemble in 2-3 weeks.... :razz:
